Das Spiel

Annett Louisan

Dass du nicht mehr bist
Was du einmal warst
Seit du dich für mich
Ausgezogen hast

Dass du alles schmeißt
Wegen einer Nacht
Und alles verlierst
War so nicht gedacht

Du willst mich für dich
Und du willst mich ganz
Doch auf dem Niveau
Macht's mir keinen Spaß

Das füllt mich nicht aus
Ich fühl mich zu Haus
Nur zwischen den Stühlen

Ich will doch nur spielen
Ich tu doch nichts

Ich will doch nur spielen
Ich tu doch nichts

Dass du wegen mir
Irgendwen verlässt
Dass du manchmal weinst
Weil es dich verletzt

Dass es immer mal
Jemand andren gibt
Der sich hier und da
In mein Leben schiebt

Dass du dich verliebst
Weil du's mit mir tust
Dass es dich so trifft
Hab ich nicht gewusst

Es war nie geplant
Dass du dich jetzt fühlst
Wie einer von vielen

Ich will doch nur spielen
Ich tu doch nichts

Ich will doch nur spielen
Ich tu doch nichts

Dass du nicht mehr schläfst
Weil es dich erregt
Wenn ich mich beweg'
Wie ich mich beweg'

Dass du fast verbrennst
Unter meiner Hand
Wenn ich dich berühr
Hab ich nicht geahnt

Ich steh nur so rum
Tu so dies und das
Fahr mir durch das Haar
Und schon willst du was

Lass mal lieber sein
Hab zuviel Respekt
Vor deinen Gefühlen

Ich will doch nur spielen
Ich tu doch nichts

Ich will doch nur spielen
Ich tu doch nichts

Ich tu doch nichts

    I think Annett Louisan should be played on the radio and become famouse for writing those lyrics. I know no similar artists that can describe scenes and situations like this.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
